Copycat Outback Steakhouse Tangy Tomato Salad Dressing

I almost passed on making this copycat Outback Steakhouse tangy tomato salad dressing. I’ve made lots of copycats of the dressings from Outback, like their ranch dressing, and I love them. The thought of tomato paste in a dressing made me scratch my head. Made me worry. A bit. Well, all that was for naught because it came out great. More like a French dressing. Or even a tomato soup sorta, but in a dressing format. Still sound odd? It’s not!

Salad Up!

I think this is one of those ‘perfect for a simple salad’ dressings. You know, nothing fancy is required here. Some lettuce. A few other things. No need to spend 30 minutes putting it together. This copycat Outback Steakhouse tangy tomato salad dressing will make it feel fancy. It’ll take that simple salad and make it ‘wow’ with great tomatoey flavor.

Mayonnaise Thousand Island Salad Dressing

My wife is the olive addict in our house. Me, I like them. I like them enough to put them ON my salads. But I’d never put them IN my salad dressing before. That’s why this mayonnaise Thousand Island salad dressing caught my eye. First, I figured she’d love it. And second, it’d satisfy my curiosity about how it would taste. Well, we both ended up happy because this dressing is really very good. It’s different. It’s a great twist on traditional Thousand Island flavors. A brilliant twist.

Mayonnaise Thousand Island Salad Dressing

You’ve Got That Briny Feeling

The salty brininess of the olives adds a lot of flavor to this mayonnaise Thousand Island salad dressing. It’s creamy, smooth and tasty. There’s a lot going on in it. It’s not just one note. Fortunately, it makes a pretty big batch of dressing.

It’s also great for dipping vegetables!

Grating an onion can be kind of a pain. I usually use a Microplane but lately I’ve found myself using my cheese shredder more and more instead. It comes with a grater wheel that grates onions in a second. And of course, I always use it for my cheeses because nothing beats freshly-shredded cheese.

Lexington Coleslaw

Someone asked me the other day if I’d ever had ketchup in a coleslaw. I gave them the same look you’re making right now. No way. Nope. Never. That’s nuts. Then along came this Lexington coleslaw. It contains ketchup. Yep. And you know what? It’s crazy good! What a tangy, delicious twist it brings to a slaw. This is totally different and totally great!

Lexington Coleslaw

Welcome To Different

Ketchup actually adds a lot to this slaw. I won’t say that this Lexington coleslaw is quite your ‘standard’ slaw without it. It’s decent enough. But the ketchup, that tomato flavor, is perfect. The chili powder is different, too. With a nice vinegar hit, it’s not a creamy slaw. It’s more in-your-face. And it has a little kick too that kinda sneaks up on you. This is a great slaw. It’s wonderful as a side, but really great heaped on top of grilled hot dogs or a pulled pork sandwich!

Subway Roast Beef Sub In A Tub

If you’re thinking this isn’t complicated, you’re right. It’s not complicated. Simple ingredients. Short preparation time. But good, fresh results. Sometimes I get a mental block as to what I want in my salads. I found that the easiest way to get around my block is to make subs in a tub. Easy salads made using my favorite sub sandwich toppings. Today I made a Subway roast beef sub in a tub. No rocket science involved here. Only minutes spent preparing. And in the end, a good salad!

A Little Prep And A Lot Of Happiness

I usually have what I call ‘salad weeks’ here. Yep, an entire week of salads for lunch or dinner. I go to the store and I load up on fresh ingredients, then prepare them all at once. Or most of them at least. The items that hold up well are prepared ahead of time as much as possible. Then I can make my Subway roast beef sub in a tub in no time at all. I just add a few more ingredients, grab my favorite dressing, and it’s time to eat.

Copycat Longhorn Ranch Salad Dressing

Nice-and-easy and tasty. That pretty much sums up this copycat Longhorn Ranch salad dressing. Nothing complicated going on here. Just a few simple ingredients. A few minutes of putting it all together. And in the end, a nicely tasty creamy dressing that was perfect for my evening’s salad.

Go Fresh… Ish

You can kinda take one of two different routes when you make this copycat Longhorn Ranch salad dressing. You can opt for fresher ingredients. Fresh parsley, dill and chives. You’ll get a nice, bright fresh dressing. Or you can go for the dried herbs and get a just-as-tasty dressing that’s a little easier and uses ingredients you might already have on-hand. Either way, this is a good dressing.

Oh and yes, it’s great for dipping wings too!

Easy Mexican Coleslaw

I’m going to tell the truth. It wasn’t my idea to make this easy Mexican coleslaw. My wife came across this recipe and added it to our ‘to-do list’. I was pessimistic about it. What? Beans in a coleslaw? Lime juice? Taco seasoning? “What the heck is this?”, I thought. Well, she went and made it. And I had it. And I loved it! I should’ve known better than to doubt her!

Easy Mexican Coleslaw

Different And Delicious

I ended up loving this easy Mexican coleslaw. A lot. So many different flavors and textures. There’s absolutely nothing boring about this slaw. This is slaw reimagined. At a new level. So, I’m sorry. I was wrong thinking this wouldn’t be a fantastic dish because it was. It feels and tastes so fresh. With a spicy, southwestern twist unlike any other slaw I’ve had or made. This is a great side dish. And it’s great on tacos (especially shrimp and beef!) too!

Lots of… Stuff

Oh I know the ingredient list for this coleslaw is a bit long. But it is still ‘easy’. In fact it’s crazy easy. Considering the reward, it’s more than worth it too. There’s all sorts of like… healthy things in it too. If you’re looking to really shake up your next picnic or family get-together or just a simple grill-out, make this slaw. You’ll be more than happy that you did.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • â…” cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning use spicy seasoning for a spicier slaw
  • 14 ounces coleslaw mix with carrots
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 15.25 ounce black beans rinsed, drained
  • 1 ½ cups corn kernels grilled or roasted, you can use canned instead
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and minced
  • ½ cup cilantro chopped
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice and taco seasoning in a small bowl.
  • In a large bowl, stir the coleslaw mix, bell pepper, tomatoes, beans, corn, jalapeno and cilantro.
  • Add the coleslaw, bell pepper, tomatoes, beans, corn, jalapeno and cilantro to a large bowl.
  • Add the mayonnaise mixture to the slaw and stir until well combined.
  • Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

I used two ears of fresh corn. I husked them and placed them on a hot grill, turning often, until they were roasted. I let them cool then cut off the kernels. If you wish to use canned (drained well) or frozen (thawed) corn kernels. If you like your corn roasted, spread them out onto a baking sheet and place under the oven broiler. Keep an eye on them and remove as soon as they start to show a little char.
Stir the slaw before serving.

Copycat Famous Dave’s Creamy Sweet and Sour Coleslaw

Do you make ‘the face’ when you taste horseradish? You know the one. The one where your mouth puckers up and your face gets all scrunched in. Well, if you do you’re going to make it big time with this copycat Famous Dave’s Creamy Sweet and Sour coleslaw. That’s assuming you make it ‘full power’, with the two tablespoons of prepared horseradish in the recipe. No one, and I do mean NO ONE, is going to feel any different about you if you use less. This is a great creamy slaw. With all of the horseradish it has a very sharp taste, but that fades away to creamy sweetness. It’s a different experience, and a really great change from the usual just creamy and sweet coleslaw.

Copycat Famous Dave's Creamy Sweet and Sour Coleslaw

The Perfect Sandwich Topper

I found this copycat Famous Dave’s Creamy Sweet and Sour coleslaw to be pretty good on its own. But I liked it much more on top of a pulled pork sandwich. The sinus-clearing hit of horseradish contrasted perfectly with the BBQ sauce I used on my sandwich. And the sweetness of the slaw tamed some of the heat in the sauce, too. It doesn’t have to be a BBQ sandwich either. You can put this slaw on a cold cut sub. Or a chicken sandwich. Anywhere you want a good, in-your-face hit of horseradish, this is the slaw for you.

Hawaiian Coleslaw

This Hawaiian coleslaw made me think I was enjoying a nice lunch on a tropical beach. I loved the sweetness from the pineapple. The ‘pop’ of citrus from the mandarin oranges. And then there’s my favorite, maraschino cherries. Ok, maybe those aren’t so much tropical but they’re good! All in an easy-to-make creamy slaw (just make sure you dry the pineapple, oranges and cherries well!) that disappears in no time. This is one of my favorite coleslaws!

Hawaiian Coleslaw

Take The Time

It’s important that you get the fruits dried well before adding them into this Hawaiian coleslaw. You don’t want a soggy, runny slaw. You want it creamy. Not soupy. And you definitely don’t want the cherries to ‘run’ into the slaw. That might taste great, but it’s not going to ‘wow’ anyone at first glance. So take the extra few minutes and dry them well. You’ll be rewarded for your efforts!

Blue Cheese Thousand Island Salad Dressing

This is salad dressing elevated. More flavors than I can even describe in each and every bite. This blue cheese thousand island salad dressing quickly became the star of our dinner side salads this week. Hints of traditional flavors but with wonderful bell peppers and blue cheese (and a few other things). This is a crazy-good dressing that I’d make again and again.

Blue Cheese Thousand Island Salad Dressing

Squeeeeeeeze

There is a little trick to making this blue cheese thousand island salad dressing. If you’re not careful, it’ll end up a bit runny and thin. Now, the flavor will still be there so don’t panic if yours is a bit on the thin side. You can prevent it by making sure that the ingredients are as dry as possible before you add them. The ones that aren’t liquid to begin with, that is. It’s kind of hard to pat sour cream dry… Anyways, just make sure the onion for sure is squeezed well to get the moisture out. The peppers and relish, well, just give them a quick dab with a paper towel.

Oh and don’t use anything ‘light’ in this. Light usually means thin and we don’t want thin here.
